New Jersey Cardiac Rehabilitation

Recovering from heart disease

Heart disease may be an epidemic in the United States, but it is also a
very treatable condition. Much of the damage done to the heart and arteries
can be managed through lifestyle changes. Cardiac rehabilitation is a
supervised program where patients work one-on-one with experienced cardiac
specialists.

This program is usually recommended to patients who have experienced a
cardiac event or undergone heart surgery. During rehabilitation, patients
undergo a customized exercise routine specifically designed to address

Achieve your heart health goals with an experienced professional

A cardiac event can be a grim wakeup call. Heart disease does not have
any symptoms, so many people are unaware they have it until they suffer
a cardiac event or receive test results from a doctor. It is important
to remember that it is not too late to improve your condition.

Now is the time to think about your long-term goals and what you will need
to do to accomplish them. Communicate these goals with your cardiac care
team, and together you can develop a rehabilitation plan that improves
heart function and keeps you on track for a long, healthy life.

Some of the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation can include:

Reduced stress

Pain management

Improved physical ability

Education on healthy diets and exercises

Weight management
